Taking advantage of our D.C. area location, and an array of nationally prominent faculty, Mason has an incredible History department. In addition to a couple of Pulitzer Prize winners, consultants to the Smithsonian, a faculty that has more than 100 books to his credit (and I assume he never sleeps), for many years Mason History faculty have run the Center for History and New Media (http://chnm.gmu.edu). Along with having some of the most amazing historical digital archives, they also have an array of tools for your history classes – a great advantage for that term paper you’ve been putting off until the holidays. They even have provide access for faculty to post their material (http://chronicle.com/free/2007/12/968n.htm) in a way that is getting national attention.
